Description

'Ghosts of the Present' by KC Moore represents the loss and smouldering anger of that morning.

How has your life changed because of what happened on September 11, 2001?

My painting when through a very angry period, many works were never shown. I actually stopped painting altogether because I didn't want to put more hatred into existence. Then, I encountered a photograph of a native man dancing with joy and it changed my life. He had nothing in comparison but was caught in a moment of pure joy. From that day, I resolved to paint only the joy of life...we still have freedom.
